   Assuming it isn't fuel startvation (when did you last change the fuel filter?) 
   it sounds like one of the boost hoses is split.  These splits are sometimes 
   hard to find - it's best to remove them completely and have a _real_ _good_ 
   look.

An easy check for fuel starvation: measure the O2 sensor output -- at full
throttle it should remain well above 0.5V (in the neighborhood of 0.7V or
so) to indicate a "full-throttle enrichment" condition; if it drops below
0.5V, you're running lean (and in danger of burning exhaust valves, etc.)
